PHDI (0–1)·Higher is better — rank 1 leads·Published by UNDP Human Development Report Office

34 reference years (1990–2023), 117 to 156 countries. The HDI discounted for a country's carbon emissions and material footprint — UNDP's answer to the question of development at whose expense. It is the one measure on this site that systematically pushes wealthy, high-emitting countries DOWN, which makes it a useful corrective to read beside the HDI rather than a duplicate of it. ⚠ Not 34 published editions: the 2025 Human Development Report recalculates every year on one methodology. UNDP publishes no rank for the PHDI, so none is stored; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours.
